It's "an epic day (and a half)" of deals, right? When is prime day supposed to end anyway? Maybe they'll have some different items on sale tomorrow? I highly doubt it, just wishful thinking. Curious how the UK got some decent deals and it was such a bust for the US.

I am a bit glad that the deals have been light as I have spent a ton of money on LEGO lately. I did pickup a Fire stick for half off, and a couple of LEGO sets at 20% off that I have been eyeing, but that has been it.

My first Prime day and all I managed was a 50odd percent off BB8. There were a few reasonable deals on smaller Ninjago sets on Amazon au but I missed those. Some trial and error leads me to believe that the 'dog pictures' appear when a set has reached 100 limit on its allocated sales (and the item is no longer available for internal restocking). While mildly disappointed, it's probably for the best...

While there wasn't any good Lego deals (at least ones I was interested in) they did have some wonderful sales on their movies. I ended up getting the Harry Potter Hogwarts collection and a few Star Trek complete collections for a fraction of what they normally go for

^I could be wrong, but I believe the "all time low" for this was $5.00. I didn't check camel-trice, but when I searched for it, Amazon told me I had already bought it once, at a (surprising) price of $5.00. Still, a great bargain for one of the best Nightwing figures out there!

Yeah, I have been wondering that as well. With the spanse sales at Amazon, and TRU being gone, Im guessing many stores will be fighting for our dollars. Walmart reportedly is going to buy something like 30% more toys for Christmas. Also makes me wonder as to what the clearance deals will be as well.

What will be of more interest is how LEGO will react to the loss of TRU. Will they compete with WM, etc and up the ante on their offers and promos for this upcoming holiday season?

Id prefer actual good sale prices vs more promos where I have to buy x dollars in regular priced sets for a promo. Just holding out hope that Amazon goes nuts this coming BF week like they did two years ago.

In many ways I agree with you. The 25%+ discounts at Amazon are so much better than 2x VIP points.

But if you get the right promo and flip it, it can turn out to be a significant discount if you factor in the 2x points.

Around Christmas time last year I opted for the Frustration Free packing option for the Saturn V. Amazon had a free option for further boxing for the holidays to avoid spoilers for presents. I ended up with a double layer of protection during shipping so I got a clean undamaged Saturn V LEGO box.

A side note, The newer boxes of the Saturn V (21309) have a removable cardboard divider inside the box to help keep the bagged parts from shifting around.

Much better than what Amazon shipped my Ewok Village when they had posted it on sale, which look more like a garbage bag. It is much better, aside from the fact it advertises to the world that it is a LEGO toy set when it is sitting on your porch
